The young and vivacious Zahrah S Khan has bagged a plum role in this highly-awaited project, Vrushabha, produced by Ekta Kapoor and starring Mohanlal as the male lead. A source said, “Zahrah S Khan impressed the makers and has come on board.
She’ll be playing a warrior princess. The makers feel that she fits the role to the T. She’ll be having a lot of high-voltage action scenes for which she is religiously undergoing training.”
Zahrah S Khan is the daughter of veteran actor-singer Salma Agha. Vrushabha will be her first Pan-India film in the lead. The source said, “Casting Zahrah S Khan works for the makers. She’s talented and very glamorous and already has a huge fan-following thanks to her videos and songs. Her presence will add to the Pan-India appeal of the film.”
Zahrah S Khan has sung popular songs like ‘The Punjaabban Song’ from JugJugg Jeeyo (2022), ‘Kusu Kusu’ from Satyameva Jayate 2 (2021) etc. She has been a part of videos like ‘Oops’ with King, ‘Main Tenu Chadh Jaungi’ with Shaheer Sheikh, ‘Tera Saath Ho’ with Guru Randhawa and Karan Wahi, etc. Last month, it was announced that she’ll feature in a song with Tiger Shroff.
Vrushabha is expected to be mounted on a grand scale and rumoured to be a Rs. 200 crores project. Apart from Ekta Kapoor’s Balaji Telefilms, Vrushabha is produced by AVS Studios and Connect Media.
The announcement of Vrushabha was made last year in August 2022. The multilingual drama will be directed by Nanda Kishore and will hit theatres in 2024. It will be released in Malayalam, Telugu, Tamil, Kannada and Hindi.
